Beautiful room for a great stay. Quiet cool close to beaches by car and on foot. View from the window.

There was never any real snake! Only mosquito (snake) spiral could use! Unfortunately published only piece of the last sentence of the first review. The room was clean, beautiful and the people polite. The recommended !!!

Georgia2016-09-07T00:00:00Z

Everything was very nice! The room was clean and we'll equipped and the view from the terrace is just p! Place is close to shops and restaurants, just few minutes away from Nas beach. The owners were very helpful and flexible with our arrival and departure hours. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Ikaria.

Justyna2017-06-27T00:00:00Z

Great little place all you need and so very relaxing away from the crowds of Nas and Artemistis yet close enough when you want that, for a swim, dining etc. get up into the Raches villages, go for a hike, etc. all nearby.

Janet2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

that took my eye of course there was a snake in the corridor outside the domatia..emeis with little chase and tablet were just fine.

Georgia2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

Fantastic stay at Maria's place! It is in front of one of the most beautiful beach of Ikaria. The house is really confortable and authentic. Parents of Maria, which are living next to the flat, are really discreet and adorable persons. One of the top places we had the chance to rent in Greece.

hugo2016-09-20T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at Maria's place! The room was very clean and spacious and the view from our window was fantastic! The road to the apartment was a bit narrow but the place was only 15 minutes walking from Nas beach and very close to other beaches and villages of Icaria by car. Maria and her parents were very kind and helpful with us and they provided us with clean towels, 2 bottles of drinkable water, coffee and sugar. We would definitely recommend this place to everyone who wants to have a nice stay in Icaria!

Dimitris2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

I would highly recommend it to someone who will travel to Ikaria, choose Mary to stay tou.To house has very nice view and Mary always ready to serve us and give us the best, so it makes separate nights our island. Thanks for all!

Situated at the center of the most beatiful village of Ikaria,Magganitis.380 m.from the beach and the grocery,50 m.from the tavern"Φεροη"and 1 kl from the famous beach Seychelles. Τhe apartment has two bedrooms,two bathrooms,kitchen and living room.

From my place you have an amazing view of the Aegean sea.In the village there are taverns,traditional cafe and the best beach bar of Ikaria.All taverns of Magganitis serve delicious,home-made food.
Natural beaches with crystal blue and green water attract you to relax and feel like being in paradise.You can take daily tours by boat to near by virgin beaches.
At nigths music events take place at the taverns and the bar of the village.Generally at Ikaria more than 100 traditional "fiestas" take place where dancing folk dances,eating traditional food and drinking local wine promise you an unforgettable experience.According to the myth, Dionysos the god of wine and joy, was born at Ikaria.People hear dance in exctasy at "fiestas"until the morning and enjoy every minute of life.
We live in harmony to the nature without stress.Just when you reach Ikaria remove your watch and forget about everything.
I will be glad to give you more informations.

Magganitis is way far from any city center. It is a small village with 3 small taverns and 2 really small cafes. All the roads are uphill and even a big jeep will find it hard to keep up. The house was half too old while the other half looked new. It was clean and it was equipped with a really old fridge, an old stove, a TV that wasn't working, 1 washing machine and a hair dryer. The mobiles weren't working and we couldn't connect to any Wi-fi as well. The nearest beach was approximately 600-900 meters away from the house. The road back home was a big uphill therefore we didn't visit the beach.Mrs Xeni was polite enough to let us stay half the another day until the time of our departure. I believe that some staff both in the house and outside need improvement cause not all people are accustomed to a minimalistic way of life.Some amenities even decorative ones are at times most appreciated.Sure a village house looks nice as long as it is taken cared of.

Aris2017-09-08T00:00:00Z

Xeni's place is an old traditional house located in a quiet village called Magganitis in the south edge of the (URL HIDDEN) applicable area for peaceful and quiet stay. Very close to the village is located famous Seichelles beach and a beautiful bar called "sto gialo kani fourtouna ". The house was very clean and spacious. Xeni is a very friendly and helpful host and can give you very good tips for the island.

Magda2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

I have stayed in over 50 air bnbs and I have never had a nicer host. Nothing was too much for Xeni, she picked us up from the port, recommended things for us to do and drove us to the main town. Our stay in her beautiful, little town was such a pleasure. Xeni takes pride in being a good host and her little villa is a reflection of that, her home is immaculate, cleaner than a hotel! The kitchen is well equipped, the bedrooms have air conditioners and the little veranda out front is a beautiful spot to spend an afternoon. Obviously I highly recommend this home and I will be sure to return.

Great place in Christos Raches the most beautiful town in that area of Ikaria. Perfect to go by day to the beaches of Nas or Messakti and walk to enjoy the town night life

A place close to the Main Street of Rakes with beautiful view of the sunset

Carlo2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

Vasso's place was very nice, just a few minutes walk to the centre of Chritos Rachon. It had a lovely view overlooking pear trees, very peacefully and. Great place to relax. I met Vasso just at the end and she was very welcoming. I highly recommend Vasso' place to stay and Christos is a great place to visit.

Tamara2017-07-18T00:00:00Z

I stayed in Vasso's apartment for a whole week. The accommodation is amazing. It is located in Xristos Rachon (Χριστός Ραχών), which is the main village and the center of night life of Ikaria, since all the bars (it is next to bar Σκνιπα, one of the best in the island) and restaurants are there and close to other villages that the Panyghria (traditional greek celebrations during summer. Ikaria is one of the most famous places of panyghria, do not miss them!!!) take place. It is 4km from the main beaches of the island (Mesakti, Leibadi) and 7km from Nas, one of the most famous beaches in Aegean. Some people will suggest you to stay in Armenisti or in apartments close to the beach, but this is not good idea since the roads in Ikaria are terrible for driving so its not a good idea to drive at night after having fun in villages. I would suggest to stay in the villages and drive during day towards the beaches instead, hence Xristos Rachon is the best choice! We had the whole apartment which contains one cozy living room and kitchen, a bathroom with shower, and a big bedroom with two single beds. The apartment is in the first floor and has also a big balcony with nice view to the back side of the island. We found the apartment clean, with many towels and sheets, and everything that we needed. Vasso and her family are nice and hospitable people. They helped us to everything that we asked. I would definitely stay again in this place :)

Alexander2016-08-06T00:00:00Z

I would say that Vasso's home is perfect for a couple looking for a romantic retreat. It is a few minutes walk to the village, very peaceful and although basic, I thoroughly recommend.

Stella2016-10-06T00:00:00Z

Vasso was a great host and we are looking forward to staying at her place again.

Yiannis2016-06-30T00:00:00Z

A great apartment to stay in if you like peace, a balcony view over cherry trees, an orchard and the sea in the distance. It's a short distance to walk to the wonderful square in. Christos Rachon with a few bars and delicious home made produce in the Women's Co-operative. Vasso and her family are charming and very helpful. The apartment is not lavish but is very comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed our stay and would thoroughly recommend it.

Sue2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

The apartment is basic, but comfortable. It's nice having a washing machine available, too. The location was not quite what I expected, having no experience of Ikaria before this trip. It's a small village in the central highlands of the island. It's charming, but pretty secluded from the beaches and shopping areas. It's an hour and a half to two hour walk to the nearest beaches - luckily the nearest ones are good ones (Nas, Messakti). We tried to rent a vehicle when we realized this, but being high season, there were none available on such short notice. However, hitch hiking is a common form of transport on the island - it's safe and easy to do - so that's what we did with no problems at all. There was a panagiri fiesta (an ikarian tradition) during our brief stay. It's an all night party with a band singing traditional songs and food and drink and dancing. This would not have been available if we'd stayed at the beaches, I think. All in all, we felt good about staying in the village. Vasso and her family were wonderful hosts. She allowed us to check in super late (as our ferry was super late), and went out of her way to help us try to arrange for transport to different places on the island. She invited us to the Panagiri and even connected us with some other folks staying in her property that took us to Seychelles Beach one day. She also offered us some delicious pears from her garden. We were very grateful to her, and would recommend staying here for sure ... maybe just rent a car in advance.

My 3 apartments are located in the tranquille village of Pigi, a village hidden in the mountains with a splendid view of the north seacoast of Ikaria. Pigi is just 5km from the port village of Evdilos and just 6km from the village of Armenistis with the beautiful beaches and only 10 minutes from Kampos beach. I have three apartments with own private veranda each.Each can accomodate 2 people.Perfect for couples or two friends. I will be very happy to have you stay with me.

My 3 apartments are in a very green area with a lot of trees around the house, which means, we enjoy "natural aircondition"!
Guests like very much my home made sweets.

Renée ´s place is located up the hill, in a little paradise with a great view and very quiet atmosphere. She offered us some very nice welcome cakes. It was very cool to stay at her place. She got a lot of informations to give us. To reach the place it's really mandatory to rent a car. I recommand it. See you soon Renée!

Cécile2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Me and my boyfriend stayed at Renée's for 4 days. We had the loveliest time. She is a great host, and she made us fall in love with Ikaria with her tips and sweets. Her place is a quiet place for nature lovers. If you want to go to Greece go to Ikaria, and if you are going to Ikaria, stay at Renées!!!

Sabina2017-08-03T00:00:00Z

The experience in Ikaria was amaizing and also discover and staying in The Renee's rooms andi know her!

Cristina2017-07-25T00:00:00Z

It was a very good decision to go to Ikaria for holidays. Staying in Renée's place, made it unforgettable. The room is even better than the photos. It has a very clean and useful bathroom and well equipped kitchen. We had our own veranda that we had our breakfasts watching the amazingly beautiful, unique view. I was worrying about the heat and thinking that it would be hard without air conditioning in the room. But the house has a perfect isolation and even when it's too hot outside, there is a cool and fresh atmosphere inside during the whole day. Beside the room, Renée was a wonderful host. She is new on AirBnb but she had lots of visitors before and they all wrote very nice comments to her guest book as we do at the end of our holiday. She welcomed us so warmly, offered us her delicious deserts, answered all of our questions, gave us really good tips about the island. Our holiday wouldn't be the same if we stayed in an other place. We have very good memories and a friend in Ikaria now. We strongly recommend Renée's place and hope to be there again!

Gülce2017-07-01T00:00:00Z

Ikaria is just wonderful. Renée was very helpful and nice, her house in a beautiful position, quite comfortable to reach anywhere. We will come back.

Francesca2017-08-30T00:00:00Z

Renne's place is amazing. With a beautiful view, nice clean room, Renee's hospitality is 5*excellent!!lovely person, ready to help you for everything and welcome you. I'll be back for sure!!

Vasiliki2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

If you come to Ikaria, this is the place to stay! The beautiful views and surrounding nature exceeded our expectations (and photos). Renees apartments are comfortable and well equipped, located in the picturesque village of Pigi with Theoktisti Monastery close by (need a car or scooter to get around though). I have no doubt, it's also thanks to Renee herself that our memories of the island will be unforgettable. She is a warm,charming and caring host, who went out of her way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible,sharing valuable tips and insights on Ikaria. In short: Highly recommended, would definetely love to come here again, but this time not just to visit the island, but also to visit Renee:)

Jazmin2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

Great spot near the village port. Spacious and quiet

George2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

George's apartment is very cute, clean and comfortable. There is no balcony but once you see the traditional cafe/market garden terrace you will want to sit there, have a coffee and chat with extremely friendly locals (Ikarians are generally very genuinely kind and friendly but people from Magganitis are specially friendly). You can walk 5 minutes to the port to catch the boat to Seychelles beach -which is run by George and his father! Seychelles beach is likely one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen but there are many reasons to stay in Magganitis. It is quiet but friendly and surrounded by dramatic rocky mountains and lush greenery. George himself was more than helpful and him and his family saw to it that I had everything I needed and more. Like many Ikarians, he knows much of the history of this unique place and is excited to share it with you - so no tour guide required!

Emma2016-06-28T00:00:00Z

Great house, next to a very cute cafe, in a very positive neighborhood and nice people around. George was a great host he gave us free boat rides to Seychelles beach. The boat trip were included in the house booking. House was clean and had everything working good, the bed was comfortable and the A.C. in the bedroom was strong. The cafe next to the house also was like a market, so we could buy other things there. Very recommended place to stay.

Elvis2017-07-31T00:00:00Z

Wow! This place is just wonderful! Stayed here for 4 nights and it still wasn't long enough. The apartment is great and has everything you need. It's located in a beautiful location and has a store next door for all of your possible needs. The village (Maganitis) is truly exceptional and such a breath of fresh air. George and his parents are truly wonderful and are there for anything you need! Hope we get to make it to this place again one day!!

Paige2017-07-13T00:00:00Z

The House of George is very nice and located in the best spot of the village of Magganitis, next to a tavern that has several facilities. Ikaria is a stunning island with a wonderful cooking. We were greeted by the father of George who was very nice and our communication with George was made through messages. George was of easy communication and kind to us. Ikaria is a place that will be forever in our memory. The beach of Seychelles is very near the village (approximately 1500 m).

Marcos2017-04-21T00:00:00Z

Our experience with George was great! His place is very quiet and Mangannite a lovely village not to much touristic! The appartment was clean, quiet, well equipped and situated on the middle of the village on a lively and lovely square.

llum2016-09-08T00:00:00Z

The Blue House is a great place to relax and unwind in Ikaria! Its clean and spacious with all of the things you would need for your stay! Steps away from a small market/cafe and a 5 minute drive to a great little beach. Its away from the main tourist sites but if you have a car they are easily accessible. George was a wonderful host who hooked me up with an amazing tour guide who gave me an true islander perspective. Off the beaten path and wholly worth checking out!

We had a lot of fun in the area with bars and taverna so close to the house. The house had great views and a lovely home feeling to it, clean towels and nice old furniture. Ideal for our stay .... please don't change the house to much we really enjoyed the character of the house and village. I hope to go again .

Nikos2017-07-12T00:00:00Z

Lovely place! Peaceful, very cozy and functional, with great view and also one minute walk from the center of Raches, the center of nightlife. We didn't have the chance to meet Evey but she was very helpful when we talked to her on the phone. Its a place i would definitely recommend.

The studio is located on the road that links the village center to the beach. It's in a relatively quiet area with a distance of 200 m from the main road of Ikaria.

The house is spacious and well located. The nature surrounds us and the song of the crickets accompanies us. Terry was very attentive to our needs before and during the stay which allowed us to enjoy a maximum. That will be a great moment. We highly recommend

jean louis2017-07-25T00:00:00Z

Terry's space was very clean and spacious. We particularly enjoyed the kitchen area where we were able to make most of our meals. His place is located close to a beautiful beach and walking distance to the village of Kampos. He is also near to the port of the Evidilos. We definitely recommend that you stay at Terry's place when exploring Ikaria!

Jacquelyn2017-06-15T00:00:00Z

Ikaria is one of those exceptionally beautiful places, and staying with Terry and his family gave us a unique insight into the islands rich and historic culture. My son and I had a truly amazing time here, and were made to feel most welcome. There is a nice beach a short walk away, and Ikaria has many hidden gems. This is a great base to explore the island.

Ryan2016-04-11T00:00:00Z

Terry is a very nice guy! He told me a lot of tips and great places to visit! I really liked to know him and we had amazing talks drinking good local wine!

Traditional stone made house of Ikaria, located at the beach of Kampos village. The house contains a double and a single bedroom surrounding a patio. There is an outdoor kitchen with refrigerator, oven and small electrical appliances. The house is suitable for three persons with potentiality for one more guest in the double bedroom. The peaceful location of the house makes it an ideal choice for couples and families.

Traditional stone made ikarian house, built in the late 19th century. There are two bedrooms, 7 and 18 square meters, that surround a patio, where there is an outdoor kitchen. There is one common bathroom for the two bedrooms.

The village of Kampos used to be the centre of the island during the ancient times with the name Inoi, that means city of wine. Parts of that period are still visible at the village, consisting sites of intrest for the visitor. In the core of the archaeological zone you can see the Odeion, the Late Roman aqueduct and an Early Byzantine building known as the "Palaces". In the building of the arcaeological museum there are statues, columns, grave parts and vases of the classical and hellenistic period . At the center of the village you can find a buzantine monument of the 11th century, the church of st. Irini, built on the ruins of an early christian basil. At the village you can also find restaurants, cafes, food market and pharmacy.

This is a great little place right next to the sea. It feels very romantic to stay there, a little bit like time machine and somewhat surreal. The house has everything and more for the short or long stay. It is 3 steps away from the sea, 5 minute walk from fruit trees, 10 minute walk from nice cafe, taverna and village activity centre with movies, yoga, dance classes. And Athena is very welcoming and accommodating. I highly recommend this place for a beautiful, very special experience in Ikaria!

Yana2017-05-20T00:00:00Z

Just perfect... peacefull place right on the seashore. Amazing sights and cristal water in the beach. Real cosy old style house,literally two steps to the sea. Thanks Athina for your help and tips for the Island and that to Soula allways solocitous and proactive.what a shame we could not stay longer... we loved it there!! Once again..perfect!!!

Salva2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

Athina's property is just magic. If you want to truly experience the real essence of Ikaria, stay there. You will feel the history, sleeping with the sound of the waves, almost like sleeping on the beach. The house is literally on the beach, pictures are very reliable, the house is lovely, there is anything you may need, but the best thing is that it makes you feel free and wild, as Ikaria is. Still authentic, not too tourist, as we wanted. Choose Ikaria and Ahina's house if you fancy something authentic and wild, totally part of the nature that surrounds you. Athina is a fantastic host, present, caring but never intrusive; always there in case you want advice or anything else you may feel you need in the house. We fell in love with Ikaria, hope it won't change too much in the future and definitely want to go back! We miss that house and Ikaria already! Thank you Athina, really!

Siria2017-08-11T00:00:00Z

We stayed in the little beach house at the beginning of october, the end of the season in Ikaria. As the parents of Athina were nearby at the day of our arrival, we got the keys from them and some usefull information about the island. The beach was ours most of the time, we enjoyed the swimming every morning and listening to the waves and watching the stars at night. If you love the sea and a quiet place - this is it. It was just perfect for us so that we stayed longer than first intended. It was our base for exploring the island, we especially enjoyed hiking (f.ex. the Halari Canyon), watching the sunset in Nas, having delicious cake in Raches and the Loukoumades in Theoktsisti monastery. The bathroom, the house and the kitchen is well equipped (we only added some salt ;-) but we cooked only once as we liked the food in the restaurants, f.ex. in Nas (Neiades). Some restaurants already close at this time of the year, but still enough are open... And there is a Carrefour 5 minutes by car in direction Armenistis or smaller shops in Evdilos. We were very lucky with the weather. No rain (bad for nature, good for us), no strong winds. With about 6 Bft. from north you can't swim on this beach because of the waves, but we had this only the first day and from then on almost calm sea. There are some concrete steps down to the beach, they collapsed a bit sidewards, but can still be used. Long text, short conclusion: we loved it and will come back :-D

Anja2016-10-11T00:00:00Z

this house is absolutely wonderful. it is simple in it's style, to let the surrounding nature shine, but at the same time has everything you need to live comfortably. we had an absolutely wonderful stay in the house and i would recommend this house to anyone visiting ikaria!

Sofie2017-06-30T00:00:00Z

this house is a very magic house. 3 steps from the sea. You will sleep with the sound of the sea. The beach close the house its amazing e there is a cute bar where you can eat very well. certainly Athina could be improved of things to make it more comfortable like the garden. Is a ancient house, and you must be very romantic and relaxed to love it. If you really love the sea, this is your house. enjoy it.

Chiara2016-08-13T00:00:00Z

Very nice house in front of the beautiful beach of Kampos. There could be strong wind and waves. The owner is very dedicated to the hosts if you have questions. The house is arranged around a small and closed patio (with no direct view outside of the house). The outdoor kitchen is in the patio. The two rooms (one double bed and one single bed room) and the bathroom are leading to this same patio. A small garden is also in front of the house.

Renaud2017-07-19T00:00:00Z

The beach house is just a dream.... To spend the holidays there, is a great gift. My kids and myself, we appreciated most the sound and the view of the sea and the atmosphere. We are frequently travelers, but such a house we never had. Beautiful!! The house is very well equipped, clean, lovely decorated and to sit outside for breakfast or lunch is a big plus! Athina is very nice and helpful, super fast in responding. For the daily life and discovering the amazing island you need a car. This is easy to arrange, just ask your host. A big thank you to Athina and Soula and we are strongly recommend the place!! See you soon!

My place is located between Livadi and Messakti ,the two biggest beaches of the island. A lot of options concerning nightlife(at summer), restaurants and (URL HIDDEN) is also close to seaside villages ( Armenistis, Nas, Gialiskari ). It It is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).

The place is just lovely! It was very clean with hot water on the bathroom running at all times. The view from the veranda was stunning to say the least with a seaside view and Arministi the village. Very peaceful and quiet house. Artemis and her family and dogs are the friendliest people with a smile on their face and ready for any guidance and help. It was my first time with Airbnb and the experience was great over all. The house is up a hill, actually the entire area is so would recommend a car in order to see the island for seyheles beach to Nas ( my two favourite places there, such an exotic beauty for Greek standards). The mesaxti and livadi beaches are 10min by walking, so that is a plus. Armenisti is a bit more if you want to grab a bite or drink. Definitely recommend with eyes closed and really want to visit again next summer, perhaps late august this time to avoid the Aegean wind and waves. Thank you so much for everything!!

The village name is Vrakades.This is a very old village at north-west of Ikaria,in elevation 600m from the sea and has amazing vew with a wοnderful sunset.

Leonidas is a writer and person of great kindness and hospitality. The house is 200 years old and is probably the most authentic experience you can get on Ikaria. Prepare yourself for a trillion stars and a sunset to remember for life. Vrakades is a lovely little village off the beaten track. This is not just another holiday home it's a real experience for travellets seeking that special, unspoilt real relationship with people, nature and culture. Thank you Leonidas!

Lawrence2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

It was amazing to stay at Leonidas house. The place is very beautiful , quiet with great view. Leonidas was very helpful and friendly, actually our car broke down and he helped us a lot. For sure we will come again!!!!!

Great traditional house. Remote location but unreal scenic views and sunset. Communications with Leonidas was great. Will visit again.

MIHALIS / AMANDINE2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

The place is wonderful, Leonidas is a beatiful person, really polite and lovely. It's necessary to have a car beacuse the position is far as beatiful. If you have it, it's the best place you can find in the island i think.

Amazing place! Maria was an excellent host and her place is just perfect! Clean, confortable, beautiful view, perfect location. Would be back there again!

The apartment is just two minutes walking from the main square of Evdilos, on one of the narrow streets. The apartment is small (I think, it is a little bigger than it looks in the photos), but very cozy! Inside you can find handmade crafts which make you feel warm and like-at-home. In the apartment, there is everything which is necessary for cooking, so it is very convenient in case you want to prepare your meals by your own. Maria is definitely NOT this kind of host who will give you the key to the apartment and then... disappear. During all our stay she was always available to advise the best solutions for discovering the island (so do not hesitate to ask her for the best option for getting local sweets, eat the best souvlaki or to rent a car. ;)). We had a wonderful time together during the local celebration (Panagiri), where we could meet her friends and also get some lessons of greek dances. ;) Do not miss the opportunity to make your stay in Icaria amazing! :)

This is a piece of paradise! The house is well located with a scenic view, it is indeed perfect for watching the sunset over Gialiskari. We spend romantic evenings and awesome breakfeasts on the veranda. It is lovely decorated, has a well equipped kitchen and an outside shower where you can shower underneath the stars. Vakis was a great host to us, he picked us up from the port, helped us find a rental car and let us wash our laundry in his washing machine. He even provided jam, honey and Ikarian liquor! We would have stayed there forever if could!

the room is very cosy, it looks as in the pictures, and it's connected to a big terrace (perfectly suitable for yoga practice in the sunset). it's just a four minute walk from the core of the village, which lives up vibrantly in the august nights! vasso (and family) welcomed us warmly and made us feel at home!

michell2016-08-12T00:00:00Z

Stay as far as you can from this place! Location is good (near the center) but the apartment is very dirty and unconfortable (one of the two bed broken) Moreover the host was not present at check-in and nobody showed us the apartment, so we don't know how hot water worked. Very bad experience

Serena2017-07-24T00:00:00Z

Really bad communication. After my booking all of a sudden the host wanted 5€ extra from me, which was not really communicated before. All in all the communication with the host was not really friendly, I felt like she was only interested in our money. The room has a nice view, the rest is just o.k, i would not come back. But Christos Raches is a nice place, worth a visit.

Tobias2017-08-24T00:00:00Z

Christos Rachon is the perfect place for all travelers, which may also inspire for the hinterland of the island. From here you can reach on foot the impressive and lonely peaks of the mountain ranges (up to 1000m above sea level), as well as the picturesque beaches in Artemistis. The family of Vasso is very friendly and helpful. My visit here has thrilled me.

Rudolf2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

A great and special place

The house is located just outside of Armenistis on the coastal road to Nas. Its low-density, peaceful, quiet and always breezy and cool compared to staying in downtown Armenistis which can get crowded in summer. You can walk to Armenistis in about 10 minutes, or ride the mountain bikes I have. Its less than 1km to the central square. Its a beautiful area to walk in as its along the coast. The house is floating above the sea and has 180 degree views. The moon light comes in the windows at night and the sunset is clearly visible in the evening. Enjoy the night sky like you've never seen it from the veranda.

The listing description of the house was accurate but the details about the location, the sound of the ocean and the star gazing opportunities must be experienced to be fully appreciated. I have never noticed so many stars in the sky! The house is in a great spot!

Tonya2016-08-26T00:00:00Z

Peter's house is the perfect sunset spot. Peter met us in Armenistis which is about a 10minute walk from the house. He left us with some wine, cheese and snacks. A perfect welcome. The house is modern and works well, good wifi so we were able to stay in touch with the world. The driveway is a tad scary and steep but so are nearly all the roads on Ikaria, if you are renting a car, I would suggest a 4wheel drive, going off road is not really optional on Ikaria. Do not trust your satnav either, seems to not know the difference between goat tracks and roads. A perfect sleepy island where stress seems to be a thing of the future, even in this difficult financial time for Greece, Ikaria is joyful and best of all, timeless.

Carla and Piers2016-05-29T00:00:00Z

Excellent host, quick to respond and very helpful. Left us honey, wine and snacks for our arrival. The house is very nice and in a beautiful part of Ikaria. The sunsets in October were amazing.

Tim2016-10-24T00:00:00Z

A very comfortable and functional house located near Armenistis (about 2 mins by car). The house has an amazing sea view which is absolutely stunning. There is a small beach near the house but didn't have the chance to go because of the wind. Either way the island is full of amazing beaches that everyone should visit. Peter is very professional and easy going. He provided us with lots of information regarding the island, villages and events. Overall we are very pleased that picked this house and i definitely suggest to try it out. Ikaria is the place to be. We are definitely going again next year.

Ab2016-08-17T00:00:00Z

The house was superb, so was our host Peter. The view was stunning, the house very clean. I loved the tyles in the bathrooms. Serene and quiet, a short distance from good restaurants and Raches, the place to hang out at night.
